There is absolutely zero solution for the chinese/japanese characters?

is there any way I can control the music from the iPod itself then???

how bad is the audio quality from the 6FL/AUX compared to CD and also compared to direct USB??

using aux in you can control all the music directly from the ipod...the only problem that sucks is if you want to switch songs or whatever while you are driving, you will have to constantly grab and look at the ipod etc.

i do that sometimes, but only with playlists so i just leave them on random and play. the sound quality is pretty good honestly, but if the auxin plus is slightly moved or twisted or whatever by accident, the sound fails slightly but it shouldnt happen since the plug is inside the armlean
